Just another Thursday night.

Tonight started out not so great. Not bad, but not great. I had wanted to go to dinner with some girl friends, but Ryan had meetings. (As usual!) I thought about going to my moms since that is what I normally do when he has his meetings but my dad has surgery tomorrow (hernia), so their home teachers were coming over to give him a blessing and I didn't want my kids there bothering them during that. Sooo.... now what?! Well I thought I "might-as-well" go work in the yard. I let the kids run wild and play as they wished while I was working. It was all going so well, until suddenly my mischievous son shows up (he had ran inside), with a bucket of water. This can't be good. Of course he promises that he won't squirt anyone. And of course, I believe him. (I'm such a sucker!) Gavin came over to play a little before the water appearance, and all was well. Then suddenly, what was "I just want to show Gavin how my new water shooter works", turns into a water fight between the kids. I didn't think it was warm enough out to be shooting each other in the face with freezing cold water, but what do I know. I'm not exactly the one having fun as I rake the yard. It was really cute to watch them run around and shoot each other. It was even better when Ryan got home and Cammie and I just kept saying don't shoot Dad. Needless to say, Dad's suit got a good washing. Well at least we save money on dry cleaning. At one point Gavin ran home and got his water gun, game on!!! Then it seemed the kids just fought over who got the gun (mostly because if you were holding the gun, you weren't getting shot in the face.) It was a lot of fun. The cutest part of all of it was when Peyton fell over asleep just watching us in the yard. She can sleep anywhere, and does.
